    The height is 8 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The area of a triangle is given by

    A = 1/2 bh

    60 = 1/2 * 15*h

    60 = 15/2 h

    Multiply each side by 2/15

    60 * 2/15 = 2/15 * 15/2 h

    8 = h

    We can solve for h in the triangle area formula to solve for the height. (a = 60 and b = 15

    Triangle Area Formula: A = 1/2bh

    60 = 1/2 (15) h

    60 = 7.5h

    60/7.5 = 7.5h/7.5

    8 = h

    Hence, the height of the triangle is 8 inches.

    Best of Luck!
